It said that over several days things would be changed, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed Vicki - and starting to back up the blog just in case :) Hugs, Sandie
DeleteThe Google
ReplyDeleteThe Google Plus thing can be confusing. It doesn't help that the Blogger Help Centre is a joke in my opinion. But you should not have to sign up for google plus to comment on another blogger blog. The whole Google Friend Connect thing is separate from Google +. You add Google Friend Connect to your blog by adding the Followers widget.
If you want to comment on a friend's blog and you are not following them via google friend connect, you have the option of commenting under open id. And you don't have to sign in to comment with google friend connect. Am I making sense?
Google gives you the option of cancelling your google + profile while keeping your other google accounts (this includes blogger, gmail, google wallet, youtube, twitter and paypay accounts I believe. Before you click cancel. It
explains that you can only cancel google connect or you can cancel the whole shebang. If you had accidentally cancelled the whole shebang I'm sure your blog would have totally disapeared by now. Hope that helped! I've started to write a series of blog tutorials on my blog since Google rarely posts any kind of helpful instructions or if they do they're the wrong instructions. I will keep adding to the blog tutorials. http://miniaturemavendiaries.blogspot.ca/
You are so right Ruth, the Blogger help centre is a bit of a joke! It has taken me hours and hours of working things out for myself through trial and error to get my blog up and running the way it is. I will certainly visit your blog and browse the tutorials there (it is past midnight now or I'd go straight away!) Hope there is one on how to add an 'email me' gadget without disclosing your email address to all and sundry - that's what I am trying to find at the moment.
DeleteThe simplest way to make your email address available but not blatantly so is to go to design ( on your blogger dashboard) and then find your picture with your name next to it in the upper right hand corner of your blog. Click on your name, it has a drop down menu. Click on Blogger Profile. On the left there will be a box that says edit profile, click on that. Then check the box that says show my email. Then when people read your profile, and they click on read my complete profile, a link will appear that says contact me. They can click on it and your email will come up. I noticed that your blogger profile is at the bottom of your blog. Since you probably chose this placement for esthetic reasons, I would add text as a widget, place it at the top of your blog, and then include a brief explanation about where to find your blogger profile. I do eventually plan to include a tutorial about how to enable threaded comments, this allows you to interact with your followers, which you are already doing, in a sense, but if you set it up so that you have threaded comments when you reply to their comments your reply goes straight to their email (as long as they have a blogger account.) I have to go, my husband and I are viewing 3 separate apartments today and the whole circumstances surrounding the move are extremely stressful. But you definitely brightened my day by becoming my morning by becoming my 16th follower (My blog is pretty new)
